Got my Hot Dawg fired and am getting prepared to install my H-sport camber links. Has anyone done a how to? I'd appreciate a link. If not, would you guys share your experience with me...pitfalls, etc. Ryan, I'd especially appreciate a write up from you.

Thanks in advance.
Sid

They are easy Sid. Two bolts and the old ones come out. The bottom ones are easy to reach, but the top ones are a bit of a *****. Two people helping on the one side helps. Once you have one out, set the length of the new bar to the old bar to give your self a good starting point. Then bolt them in. look at what way the bolts go in and put them back in the same way. I put the pass. side bar in the other way form the directions on Ryan’s car by accident and we realized it was that way after the car was back on the ground, but it looks easier to adjust since it's not right next to the exhaust pipe. Take a look at yours and see if that will help you. Other than that…good luck.

Hey thanks guys Did you have to do anything special with the shock/springs? Just jack up the rear, take off the wheels and get to work?

Sid

What kinda rummaging around are you referring to Ryan??

Chad, can you elaborate or further explain your comment. I'm not sure which part you're referring to.

Thanks,
Sid
